Children's Savings Accounts

We’ve been a good place for savings for many generations since 1853, this includes the latest generation too.

Today, we have a range of accounts for our youngest customers from our Children’s Saver to our Junior Cash ISA. You can open any Children's Saver or Junior Cash ISA in branch or by post with just £1, or transfer an existing Child Trust Fund to Skipton from another provider.

AER stands for Annual Equivalent Rate and shows what the interest rate would be if interest was paid and added each year. All ISA and Child Trust Fund interest is paid tax-free, which means it’s exempt from income tax. We pay all non ISA savings interest gross, which means no tax is deducted. It’s your responsibility to pay any tax due, based on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in future.

Please be aware that products can be withdrawn at any time and without notice.
